Why RSA

The RSA: A Professional-Grade Putting Calibration Instrument

What is the RSA?

The RSA stands for Roll & Speed Analyser. All RSA devices are machined aluminium putting training aids designed to isolate start-line accuracy and calibrate green-speed perception. Engineered by Engineers,Tour coaches and Tour caddiess, it serves as a "Source of Truth" to distinguish between a technical stroke error and an incorrect green read.

Key Performance Specifications

  • Material: Machined Aluminum (Anodized)

  • Launch Geometry: Proprietary parabolic curve for 0% skid and immediate forward roll.

  • Calibration Scale: Vertical metric scale (1-30) for repeatable speed/force control.

  • Portability: Dual-hinged "Fold-and-Go" design (fits in standard tour bag apparel pockets).

How does the RSA improve Strokes Gained: Putting?

In professional golf, the margin for error on the green is non-existent. The RSA.30 was engineered for the elite player who understands that improving performance requires mastering two variables: Start-Line Consistency and Visual Calibration.

1. Eliminating the "Guesswork" in Green Reading

Whether it’s an intensive off-week session or high-stakes tournament prep, the RSA ensures your "feel" is backed by physics. By providing a Zero-Vibration True Roll, the device allows you to verify your line with 100% certainty. If the ball misses, you know instantly that the fault lies in the read, not the stroke.

2. Solving the "Tournament-Week Problem"

Tour players often struggle to adapt quickly to varying Stimpmeter speeds and grass types (Bentgrass vs. Bermuda) from week to week.

  • The Workflow: our team designed the RSA to solve this calibration lag.

  • The Result: Spend 5 minutes on the practice green with the RSA to "clock" the speed. You walk to the first tee knowing exactly what a "12 speed" looks like, eliminating the 2-3 holes of "guessing" that cost elite players shots.

3. Professional-Grade Engineering vs. Consumer Aids

Most training aids are built for the mass market; the RSA is built for the professional environment.

  • Tour Experience (Douglas Wood & David Buhai): As a Professional Tour Coach & Professional Tour Caddy, Wood & Buhai ensured the RSA functions as a diagnostic tool, isolating aim from the actual roll of the green.

  • Computational Precision (Deon Du Plessis): Our founder applied computer engineering science principles to eliminate variables. Unlike plastic ramps that flex or warp in the sun, the machined aluminum build provides laboratory-level consistency in any climate.

Why Elite Players Choose the RSA

Elite players search for tools that offer reproducibility. The RSA delivers this by quantifying the "feel" of a putt.

  • Off-Week Quality: Stop hitting mindless putts. Use the metric scale to build a library of "feels" for different slopes and speeds.

  • Tournament Efficiency: The "Fold-and-Go" design means your most important diagnostic tool is always in your bag, ready to provide the "Source of Truth" on any green in the world.

Our Mission: Kill the "Guess Work"

We believe that "feel" is what you have left over after you’ve measured everything else. The RSA turns "guessing" into "knowing."

Built by the Tour. Used by the Elite. Engineered for the Truth.
